Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 63 The Truth ([-])

At this time, Wang Mang asked: "I wonder if your county has noticed the wound of the deceased?"

Zeng Tai was taken aback, and asked, "A wound?"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Yes, just now Jing Yang and I saw the wound on the neck of the deceased. It was fatal with one knife, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people."

Wang Mang said: "Yes, this is the key point. When ordinary people kill people, there will often be several or even dozens of wounds on their bodies. It is absolutely impossible to kill them with one knife, let alone the murder weapon is an ordinary kitchen knife."

Di Renjie took the kitchen knife from Li Yuanfang's hand, wiped the blade lightly with his fingers, and said, "Is it normal that such a blunt knife can kill you with one blow?"

Zeng Tai was speechless.

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, I can conclude that the assailant is definitely a professional killer."

Zeng Tai said in amazement: "Specialized, professional killer? What does this mean?"

Wang Mang explained: "It means that the perpetrator must be a third-rate or above person in the Jianghu."

Zeng Tai was taken aback: "Third-rate or above?"

Wang Mang said: "It only takes a short moment for this kind of person to kill a few ordinary soldiers, let alone this dead man."

Zeng Tai clicked his tongue and said, "It's so powerful!"

Wang Mang led Zeng Tai to the side of the corpse, and said, "Look at your county, the wound only reaches the throat bone, and it is only one inch long, which is already fatal. Moreover, a rusty kitchen knife was used. You understand that this requires What kind of strength?"

Zeng Tai shook his head, and Li Yuanfang said: "As long as you use a little force, the head will be chopped off. If you use a little force, you can't kill the person, and there must be a second knife on your body. Don't say it's a knife." Kitchen knife, even if you are given a sharp treasured knife, it is impossible for you to control the strength so well. With this hand alone, it can be concluded that the murderer must be a person with internal skills."

Wang Mang continued: "It can be concluded that the murderer is either a quack who has cultivated internal energy, or a master who has practiced external skills for decades."

Di Renjie nodded: "Gui County, in your opinion, is Zhang Chun a professional killer?"

Zeng Tai looked embarrassed at this moment, shook his head and said: "Zhang Chun has lived here for generations, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he won't be a full-time killer."

Di Renjie continued: "And Zhang Chun is right-handed."

Wang Mang nodded, and said, "I noticed that Zhang Chun, Wang Wu, and Wang Wu both use their right hands."

Zeng Tai also nodded.

Di Renjie's face darkened: "On Zhang Chun's case, there are so many doubts. How can your county speak up and say that the evidence is convincing? Do you want me to tell you about Wang Wu's case as well?"

Zeng Tai's body trembled involuntarily: "Humble, humble and confused."

At this time, Di Renjie's face became very serious, and he said seriously: "Zeng Tai, you are one of the parents, patrolling the herds on behalf of the sky, and you are so hasty in a serious case of human life, and you have to convict in a hurry. Isn't this a reckless attempt on human life!"

Hearing this, Zeng Tai was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "plop" and hurriedly said, "I'm stupid in my humble job! I'm stupid in my humble job!"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, and said to Zeng Tai: "The reason why I provoked you in Xiaoyang Village today is to make you throw me in prison.

Sure enough, I saw Zhang Chun and Wang Wu.

After talking in detail, they revealed the secret. The two men were threatened with the lives of their family members by a masked man in black, so they confessed to the felony of murder! "

"The masked man in black?"

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang exclaimed.

Wang Mang nodded, and said: "Yes, my lord and I learned from the five mouths of King Zhang Chun in prison that someone threatened these two people, and that's why these two people backtracked."

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this!"

Di Renjie nodded, and said to Zeng Tai who was still kneeling on the ground: "Okay, Guixian, get up, because of your hard work and calmness, you will be exempted from punishment this time."

Zeng Tai originally thought that he would be dismissed from office, but when he heard that he would be exempted from punishment, he was overjoyed as if he had received an amnesty, and his face looked better.

Li Yuanfang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since your first trial, the three of us have been watching from the audience. Your words and deeds are all in the heart of adults."

Zeng Tai hurriedly bowed and said, "I am ashamed of my humble position."

Di Renjie asked Wang Mang, "Jing Yang, how did you get into prison?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "I was more straightforward. I showed my master my fish bag and asked him to put me in prison. I was going to see Zhang Chun and Wang Wu. Unexpectedly, my lord also came in."

Di Renjie smiled: "Jing Yang, I think your talent is more than enough to be the young minister of Dali Temple!"

Wang Mang shook his head hastily: "It's better to forget it. It's good now. It can not only help the adults, but also solve the case together with the adults. It's just that the adults don't think I'm annoying."

Di Renjie laughed and said: "Jing Yang, you can often help me. Besides, how can I, an old man in his sixties, find you annoying!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "Yes, Jing Yang, my lord often said that I should learn from you, and I often think of the days when we solved crimes together in Youzhou!"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Threesomes must have my teacher, and I also want to learn from the adults and you!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Okay, let's stop bragging about each other, let's talk about this case!"

Li Yuanfang looked at the corpse in front of him and asked, "What's your opinion on this case?"

"I want to cover it up!"

Di Renjie sneered.

Wang Mang nodded and walked in front of the corpse: "The murderer must have wanted to cover up the identity of the deceased, so he took away the documents from the deceased, and then blamed Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, trying to turn this case into an ordinary one. There must be a conspiracy."

Di Renjie nodded, went to look between the two corpses, and murmured: "Two people from Chang'an with the same surname went to Huzhou to work together, and both wore silk clothes. They were killed ten days ago at the same time..."

Li Yuanfang exclaimed: "My lord is saying that there is a connection between the two?"

Wang Mang said: "Listening to the words of the black-clothed masked man threatening Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, it is not difficult to hear that it is very likely that the two dead were killed by the same killer. Taking a step back, even if they are not the same, It is also very likely that they are the same group of killers."

Di Renjie nodded, and said to Wang Mang, "For the safety of Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, Yuan Fang and I can no longer live in your Baolingtang."

Wang Mang nodded and asked, "My lord, are you planning to call the imperial guard?"

Di Renjie nodded approvingly: "Those who know me respect you!"

Then he turned his head and said to Zeng Tai: "Zeng Tai, immediately transfer Zhang Chun, Wang Wu and their families to the post in secret. Yuan Fang, you immediately summon the imperial guards to station in the post. Strict protection!"

Li Yuanfang replied "Yes".

Di Renjie ordered to Zeng Tai: "A notice will be posted tomorrow, saying that the case is closed. Zhang Chun and Wang Wu will be sentenced to death in court, and they will be sent to Zhoucheng to wait for the autumn judgment."

Zeng Tai cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."

Di Renjie warned: "Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely secret!"

The three of Wang Mang nodded solemnly.
